First, keep track of how much the delay is costing you. 

You are an investor who is making sacrifices now for their future benefit; you can see the rational of paying off your highest interest rate loan and don't need a behavioral psychology trick to keep you on track.

Once in a while a transaction is posted to a wrong account.And I've worked in a office where a employee embezzled money and this sounds par for wanting a new form of payment and could be rather fishy, I'm just saying,, keep track of payments and stubs and get the issue resolved..

Each platform, whether RS, Real Crowd, Realty Mogul, Crowdstreet etc say they do deep dives on the sponsor track record, property, location etc etc.

Just curious if he is on the right track with that thinking?

Long story short, you have to have a track record before you are going to get private money.

I want to help my parents in creating passive income through by investing in income producing assets like apartments on privately lend on other people's deals based on their track record.

Track your income and expenses in report form and review them regularly with people you trust and understand know your goals.  

There are some D class neighborhoods over by the tracks.  

@Tom Mattinson - I would value their track record much more than any formal training.
